Arthritis or more?
Had tests done: Rheumatiod factor <14 IU/ml Ana Screen Positive
Anti-nuclear AB Titer - 1:160 TITER Ana Pattern - Nucleolar
The explanation on the Ana pattern says the pattern is associated with systemic sclerosis, systemic sclerosis/polymyositis overlap and Sjogren's syndrome. In short, is it just osteoarthritis or something more?

Known for swelling, inflammation and deformities at later stages .
